Yeah. The job market is abyssmal, the wages are shit and the house prices are stratospheric.

My hot take : lots of projects would benefit from a traditional project management cycle instead of trying to force Agile on every projects.

Make something free for it then? The stuff is open and the license makes it so that it stays that way legally (though, in real life, it’s different but that’s another discussion) and any and all other contributions made to the project stays open source.

Which are what guardrails are for. When something change, you don’t know the impact the change will have.

By having guardrails, you make sure to limit/eliminate potential critical issues.
